1x5-1/8”,1x6”,1x7” High strength,AREMA 2012 Screw Spike
Oct 16, 2025
In the railway track structures, screw spikes are critical components that ensure a reliable connection between the rail and the sleeper. Unlike ordinary spikes, high-strength screw spikes feature precision-threaded designs and high-quality materials, enabling them to withstand the enormous longitudinal forces and dynamic impacts generated by train operations, thereby maintaining long-term track geometry stability.
The 1×5-1/8", 1×6", and 1×7" specifications precisely define the shank diameter and overall length of the spikes. These specific size series are designed to accommodate varying sleeper thicknesses, load classes, and installation spaces, providing flexible selection options for track engineering and design.
